Message	With a little luck I'll be strapping a couple of specd mitsu turbos onto an NA motor and putting it in this week (been trying to get to it for two months now). Thought it would be interesting to see what everyone opines is going to be too much boost. A couple of guys here are aware of how much boost I'll be running and why given the turbos but I'll not let the cat outta the bag until we have a winner (I.E. I plan on this motor turning loose before too long as it's an absolute stock engine except a little extruding here and there). So your guess can be an educated one, I'm using stock IC's and 370cc injectors. The E-O1 will let me control boost to the tenth of a pound so you can guess specifically. Todd @ Z1 Motorsports
